The Black Card delivers VIP perks and serious status, but it’s not the smartest play for points

So let's talk about why you want a black card. The perks are pretty good, but if I'm being honest, there are other cards out there that are actually way better. But here are the things that you do get that other cards are unmatched. First is you get a personal concierge. You are like the ultra VIP of the entire AMEX system. They have special areas in the airport lounges just for black card holders. And anytime that you take out a black card at a dinner meeting, at a restaurant, at a nightclub, if you're trying to impress people, people then notice and they generally will say, yeah, that guy has a black car. Something is going on. It could be something that's good if you're trying to use the status from the black card. But if you're looking at a per dollar benefit of points and perks and things like that for what it costs, it's probably not your best bet. Sick of wasting all this money.
